  • I love Judy!!!! She used to be my fantasy-wife when I was little.

  • Her "chicken" tastes a little greasy.

  • Judy certainly brought out the best of the Chicago accent (born in Fort Worth but she was raised in Chicago's North Side) and a midwest Jewish humor. It's a pity the movie Simon--her biggest movie role--didn't make more of an impact. You can also see her play a bit role in Judy Berlin, that stars her husband Bob Dishy.

  • dang. I really miss Judy Graubart. I remembered her as a beloved comdian in Electric Company. She was very much a fixture of the previous generation.

  • What is this "Shake N Bake" I don't understand. What is that a catch phrase or is that uh epilepsy?

  • I don't think it was her "chicken" that Henry said tasted a little greasy!!

  • wasnt she in the Electric Co?

  • the actor in this commercial later went on to play "artie bucco" in the supranos.

  • The butcher reminds me of Len Lesser (uncle Leo on Seinfeld, Garvin on Everybody Loves Raymond)

  • That woman is raising a family and keeping a home and feeding her family real food, not processed crap with dyes and high fructose corn syrup. That butcher is an independent small businessman with a familiarity and rapport with his customers. Some 30 or more years later, the real perverts are in your face and life every day, and the ones to feel sorry for are the others who have to work to support governement hand-out programs and bullshit wars.

  • F*#& Henry, let him cook his own damn chicken!

  • I would be VERY afraid to eat anything that guy is selling.

  • For some reason I feel sorry for this woman.

    Also, the butcher seems like a pervert... Actually, give him a tophat and cloak, and he'd look exactly like the classic "tie-you-to-a-railroad-track" villain.

  • Isn't this the guy who owned a restaurant and was a pal of tony soprano in The Sopranos?

  • Comment removed

  • In 2011, the wife tells Henry to bake the chicken himself.

  • Funny how the lady is stressed about her husband not liking her chicken. lmao! He's lucky his wife even cooks for him after he insulted her chicken.

  • @jrml98

    Ah you see this is from an era where real men still roamed, the concept may be unfamiliar to some.

  • tell Henry to either cook his own damn chicken or got to KFC!

  • Henry will knock u the fuck out if that chickens greasy again

  • You love shake and bake... you put it in your coffee!

  • I DISAGREE, MISTER MEAT PURVEYOR. FRIED CHICKEN TASTES WAY BETTER.

  • Commentary cynism aside, I had a big crush on Judy back in the day. Her and Susan from Sesame Street.

  • SHAKE 'n BAKE.....you HOME WECKER!

  • The guy with the bow tie looks like James Taylor.

  • @collegeman1988 You mean the ONLY guy in the commercial?

  • Damn. Now Henry will have to think of another reason to beat her.

  • maybe Henry worked hard all day and the little woman stays home to be a "homemaker" what is wrong with that?

  • henry's a dickhead

  • I thought "they" didn't cook.....

  • Our generation didn't worry about a little thing like salmonella. Hell i remember my mom taking the hamburger out an letting it thaw out on the counter for hours and we never got sick. This generation are a bunch of pansies

  • @dsfddsgh Actually, it's because of all the antibiotics that are put in chicken these days that people get sick from it. They pump these chickens full of antibiotics so Salmonella and E.Coli bacteria have become resistant to many antibiotics. I buy free range w/ no antibiotics or hormones and I have never gotten sick from touching it. That's how chicken used to be when your mom made it. It used to be clean and healthy compared to today.

  • @dsfddsgh I know thats right.

    

  • @dsfddsgh Actually, meat was safer back then. It wasnt genetically engineered and many of the bacteria we worry about today wasn't as prevalent or didn't exist back then. But go ahead, you continue to thaw your meat on the counter.

  • @Chanteusear You are so right. Meat was also much more humane in the 60s and 70s as factory farms and crowded feedlots accounted for only a quarter of all meat sold in the US. Temple Grandin, the autistic woman who works with cows, started her career with the most well-treated cattle in the 70s, only to get an unpleasant surprise as time moved on. Wierd how hippies started whining about factory farms when in their time they were just a blip on the horizon.

  • @dsfddsgh My mom did that too! Mom, dad, me my sisters never got sick from it..

    Dawn

  • @dsfddsgh A person is a "pansy" for being sickened by salmonella? You're joking, right? Salmonella has been making people sick for even longer than you have. Your generation didn't believe in bike helmets either; that explains a lot.

  • @pandurate Holy shit you just do not get it! Guess you had to be there to know what he's talking about. Oh and today's generation ..... yeah!

  • @TEST4YOURCDL No, I get it. Food safety was not a concern a few decades ago. There was also a day not all that long ago when children of all ages could be forced to work in horrible and dangerous conditions in the US, but that doesn't make it sensible. People got sick and died from salmonella in the 70s; what was lacking was not the threat of illness but the reporting and the organized response. Ignorance does not confer bragging rights.

  • @pandurate Go back to listening to Britney and Justin Bieber.

  • @dsfddsgh Great response. I guess that's the fallback option when you have no point to make. Good on ya bud.

  • @dsfddsgh BTW I was born in 1970. We didn't bother with seat belts either, because basically people were even bigger dumbasses back then. Hard to imagine but true...

  • @pandurate Bike helmets?? They are the geekiest looking safety equipment ever invented. I never knew any kid who hurt their head in a bike crash. Just skinned up legs and arms. (And an occasional pants leg in the chain.

  • Mmmm! I love me the shmaltz!

  • @MissZillaable LOL!!!

  • Mmmm. Shake and bake is yummy!!!

  • Bread crumbs and spices. Much less, just as good.

  • no its not

  • thanks to "SHAKE 'n BAKE....the woman's lib movement started! COOK YOUR OWN CHICKEN!

    HATE YOU.....SHAKE 'n BAKE....fry chicken was never the same Lol

  • I have always adored Judy Graubart. The voice, the look, her timing. No one like her. She and Patty Deutch can do no wrong in my book.

  • You can even taste the difference?  Well, what's the point otherwise? If Henry doesn't like it, well......

  • I don't think I've ever had Shake N Bake...

  • It sounds like he says she's fired

  • Try Shake 'n Bake and feel your blood pressure rise.

  • It's Artie Buco!

  • @dkatz1964 LOL. Good call.

  • CREEP!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Winnie from The Electric Company. What  IS her name?

  • @jconstantine100 Judy Graubart

  • Damn............I remember this commercial like it was yesterday. UGH!

  • I'm British, and don't think we ever had this. Great idea and seems like it should taste damn good. I think I'm going to import a load, open a takeaway (or take-out!) and call it BBC- Brit Baked Chicken. Also, the fella's voice reminds me a bit of Alan Alda.

  • By the way, way down the list of past comments someone gave the male actor's name from this ad - it's John Braden, who passed away a while ago. I counldn't remember his name or I would have given it before.

  • now i wanna eat crispy chicken

  • Man, you think Judy Graubert would be busy enough filming "The Electric Company" in 1972(plus the national exposure), but I guess she loved the lure of money from commercials!!!!

  • I used to like this commercial. I wanted her to ask, "Yeah, well what are you supposed to do with a fryer, you dope??". I never knew who she was until many a few years ago, thanks to the internet. I'd seen her in "The Electric Company", but didn't know her name.

  • Wow...........I remember this commercial like it was yesterday! It's things like this that make you realize time is passing by much faster than you even realize.

  • My god just because a man tells you your chicken is greasy you’re a male chauvinist pig and the PC police come out of the wood work on youtube. Get a life!

  • @CoffeeHound1515 Yeah, you nailed it. Can't believe 'the sensitivity' issues some people deal with. The irony is, they're the least sensitive of all. They think nothing of trampling your rights when their 'feelings' get hurt.

  • henry loves my stripped n baked.

  • God help me, I still like the stuff. But this ad. *sheesh* Tell Henry what he can do with his chicken ! I can't believe women used to be like that....

  • @JoshuaTaylor They're still 'like that'... whatever 'that' is supposed to mean. I'd be careful, dude. You're opening the can of worms for the fem-nazi thought police LOL

  • @JoshuaTaylor  Yes, it was a grand time!

  • Artie Bucco, in the past....hahaha!

  • I loved Judy Graubart -- Jane of the Jungle! We don't have personalities like that anymore. Now all we have are cockney geckos.

  • get me some of those

    :D

  • Henry Kissinger's wife?

  • I could swear, Judy Graubert, Teri Garr, and Lisa Kudrow are all related!

  • Everyone always thinks Judy Graubart was high or drunk in her TV appearances. She wasn't, she just delivered her lines like that. @tron3entertainment: That's not Uncle Leo. I forget this actor's name, but I do know he passed away a couple years ago. If I remember his name, I'll post it here.

  • Judy sounds like she's took one too many sleeping pills. Ot had a few Martinis before she came to the store.

  • @Sheri451 Or both. I do both. But I'm horribly efficient.

  • I LOVE JUDY!!!!

  • Starting tonight, wake and bake!

  • " It's Shake and Bake and I helped! "

  • Loved her on electric company.

  • i think Judy's the original chill pill. whatever it is, her spaced-out mellowness works. i always enjoy her performances.

  • I had forgotten this one!

    Wow, isn't that one of the girls from The Electric Company? I can't be sure, but is that Uncle Leo from Seinfeld?

  • Shake and Bake chicken is so good.

  • @BigBlueBeast hey, that's the way my mom did it!!.....back then, they also had a version for fish!!

  • is it me or is her voice weird?

  • real food back then!

  • I want to request 2 Judy Graubart videos from TEC; a good Jennifer of the Jungle video with the paper logo in the beginning that has the Judy caricature, and the skit from the last classic TEC episode where Judy is dressed up like a fiend. I had the former video but it got pulled probably because it was obtained illegally. Can you PLEASE obtain the two videos I want LEGALLY, with permission from Sesame Workshop? =)

  • I Think women forgot how To cook. I cook every meal for myself. Don`t dare Have a womain cook for me.

  • @wardmjwrd ...lots of women still cook old school. i know scads of them. and, i'm also one of them. my friends and family love it. now, with that said, i don't care if it's the man or woman in the kitchen, but, someone in the family should be in the kitchen doing it old school. there is too much fast food crap hitting people's stomachs these days.

  • What happened to the Shake n Bake ad that had the Dad come home from work and trys the chicken and says "This chicken sure tatstes good!"...and the twin girls with the southern accents say in unison as loudly as possible.."It's Shake n Bake Daddy!...and WEeeeee Helped!"...anyone remember that one?..1975 or 76 I think!

  • Yes! I'm looking for that one! It was so funny!

  • @MrMedusaLvamp I remember that one. My friends and I used to imitate it all the time. We thought it was a scream.

  • Judy Graubart is cool. Like her I am Jewish (albeit a quarter only), and she is probably my favorite celebrity from the Tribe. I wonder with hypothetical horror if she had a traumatic childhood. The reason is because she was born in the 40s and as she was in daycare our people were being mass murdered in Europe. Did that do a number on her very young psyche?! :,(

  • Damn, I forgot to check my history facts when I posted my last comment. I checked a book on Judaism and found out that the Holocaust ended right on the year Judy was born. By the time she was in preschool the horrific mass killings had ended and Hitler was dead. You think I'd know my history but the thing is I have never been proven to have Jewish blood. I am believed to and I know I do from ESP, but I've never gone to a Temple and just started reading Jewish history.

  • Her chicken was a little grease? What's wrong with that ! HaHa! There's nothing wrong with grease bedroom chicken. In fact it always tastes like chicken.

  • A classic commercial from a great era.

    Times were better then.

    Now, the wife would say to her husband, "If you don't like my chicken, go f yourself."

    George Vreeland Hill

  • if your a crap cook i guess there is always shake and shit

  • Nowadays, it'd be like..."Cook your own damn chicken if you think it's too greasy!" Not..."Oh, Henry will be so pleased!"

  • Damn right, now it would be:

    Henry: This is some greasy ass chicken!

    Judy: No one said you had to eat it, but if you want to eat something else for dinner you're gonna make it yourself.

  • Or, in a less dysfunctional household, it would be like this:

    Judy and Henry in unison: We're too tired to cook any chicken, we each had a long day at work. Let's order chicken take-out/delivery!

    :)

  • Back when women used to care about their man, unlike today...

  • If I were Henry, i would be pleased!

  • I don't think that's Luis Avalos as described in the video contents. Looks nothing like him.

  • i so agree!

  • Judy was so adorable... And I LOVED her on the Electric Company!!

  • Henry sounds like an abusive husband

  • @WoodeNZombiE sounds like a feminized moron...

  • ohh im sorry ,does someone have sand in their vaginia

  • @WoodeNZombiE well only in the U.S

  • @WoodeNZombiE Well, he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

  • Henry get off the couch and cook it yourself!

  • Might work better if you put some of "Mrs. Cubbison's" onion & garlic restaurant style croutons in the blender, dropped some crushed garlic (in the press), and add some garlic in the process. It can function as your own bread crumb recipe. Try it, you just might like it.

  • I had such a crush on this lady!! "Well, whaddaya do with a fryyyyyer?"

  • Henry needs to get off her back!

  • Judy Graubart? Thanks I never Knew her name I always remembered her as Jennifer of the Jungle

  • And I helped

  • .... yet HIGHLY processed. :-(

  • The chicken looks green at times, I wouldn't trust it! :p

  • ...she seems a little out of it and depressed...!

  • Gross! The dude is holding the raw chicken with his bare hand. I guess samonela wasn't invented yet.

  • @Samososomo

    Fun fact: Salmonella wasn't a big problem back then because the FDA did their job and required screening chickens for salmonella. It's only because of the crappy condition they raise chickens in today, thanks to the FDA easing restrictions for the poultry industry over the years, that we have to worry about it so much now.

  • @Samososomo Salmonella is more prevalent now because damn crack smoking illegals work in the processing plant.

  • Lmao - I was thinking the same thing !

  • : )

  • @autumnenergy You go gal. Tired of paying through the nose for your lazy ass, no account, do-nothing good for nothing or nobody fem-nazi attitudes. Keep working on the job till retirement and die... just like men have been doing for years.

  • @autumnenergy

    LOL!!!!!!!!!

  • @autumnenergy

    LOL!!!!!!!!!

  • @autumnenergy LOL!!!!

  • judy grubart was so adorable back in the day... i used to wish that she was my mom :)

  • Comment removed

  • I just bought some and it's $2.25 now.

    I'm obsessed with shake and bake, I want to eat it everyday although I don't eat chicken or pork but I put it on salmon, cod and tilapia. it's so tasty.

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you for rthe tip, I think I might try to make some:)

  • lolz at 00:11

  • I'm curious... now I've never used S&B before, but if the chicken was still slightly wet, or if you put a little marinade on it, wouldn't the crumbs stick to the bag?

  • @fivebearrugs yeah, the last couple of pieces get a clumpy coating

  • Some people are taking this way too seriously, it was just a commercial.

  • Please, Dear God, SOMEBODY find one of the old Oven-Fry[tm] commercials with Toppie Smellie!!!

  • OMG. I'm actually here, because I was looking for Toppie Smellie! LOL

  • Dear god, I'm here because I'm looking for the Toppie Smellie commercial. However, I'm pretty damn sure it was NOT Shake n Bake but Oven Fry which was/is a similar product.

  • That's what ah sayid!!

  • @traveljojo : I'm so glad somebody else remembers her -- she always fascinated and perplexed me! In the lates 70's, I even had a T-shirt made up emblazoned with "Who the Hell is Topie Smellie?"

  • Tell Henry to make his own damn chicken then!

  • Jennifer of the Jungle.

  • Oh, I loved Judy Graubart!! Wonder what she's up to today?

  • God, this isn't even the annoying southern chick that whined "An' AY HAYYYLPED".

    Sexist commercial? Yes. (You all know it is- just like the damn laundry and cleaning commercials of today!)

    Salty, preservative laden powder? Yes.

    Memories? Priceless.

  • While I detect some of the good houswife advertising here, we really have to move on, as a culture. Many women like to cook and want to do it well. What is horrible about a commercial where a man wants to improve the house for his wife? I am just sad that this lady can't get a good cookbook and learn to do it right. Instead she asks this ogling freak in the butcher shop for advice. This guy really scares me...

  • Shake 'n Bake and AH HEYYYLLPPPEDDD!

  • What? Some of you never heard of Shak-N-Bake?

  • What a stupid, whiney housewife! She reminds me of Adrian in Rocky 1!

  • Who cares, I still would.

  • So does this mean that Jennifer of the Jungle was married to Mister Hooper?

  • Theses nothing sexist about this commerical. Anyone who sees sexism in this commerical has a problem.

  • I hate whiney, weak, lazy, good for nothing housewives. Oops ! I mean "House Executives". Sorry but ..I am a woman of the 21st century. It IS possible to be married, with children, and career, and do it ALL well. I hate losers that stay at home all day doing nothing and then can't even do nothing right.

  • I stay home all day and i do alot. I hate working for an asshole boss. I love staying home and taking care of my house and my husband, and hopefully kids, in the future. I cook EVERYTHING from scratch. Breads, Soups.... EVERYTHING. I only wish I had a farm so I could grow my own produce and raise my own meat as well. I dont mind the hard work its wonderful for me. I also spend a lot of my "down time" reading and studying. love to learn and staying home lets me do so. Being a housewife is bliss.

  • :(  I'm so jealous.

  • I worked for many years. I know the pain. Im sorry for those who are stuck in that lifestyle (who dont like it). I hope that you find your dream someday (soon)

  • Confirm on Luis Avalos? NO CONFIRM.

  • Great flashback.

    That's not Luis from The Electric Company

  • jeez i'm old.

  • Wow, seeing this old commercial made me remember it so well. I forgot all about it, but when I viewed it, it seemed as if I just saw it yesterday again.

    Thanks for bringing this back from my dusty old memories!

  • woah i didnt know it was a real product.. ! now Talledega nights is even funnier !

  • She talks like David Starsky.

  • There are a lot of intelligent people here so please try to carry on civil conversation. I don't like to block users or delete posts, but if you can't convey your thoughts without resorting to verbal abuse or using foul language, I'll have no choice.

  • Hmm, didn't consider that. Fair enough.

  • Two words:

    Oven Fry

    Two more words:

    Toppie Smellie

    And the last two words:

    mmmm MMM!!
